Installing the boot loader is the trickiest part of the installation.
|
|
The Rockbox boot loader allows users to boot into either the Rockbox
|
|
firmware or the \playerman{} firmware. For legal reasons, we cannot distribute
|
|
the boot loader. Instead, we have developed a program that will patch the
|
|
Iriver firmware with the Rockbox boot loader. These instructions will explain
|
|
how to download and patch the Iriver firmware with the Rockbox boot loader
|
|
and install it on your jukebox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Download a supported version of the Iriver firmware for your
|
|
\playername{} from the Iriver website or from
|
|
\wikilink{ManualRockboxInstall}.
|
|
Supported Iriver firmware versions currently include
|
|
\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD}{1.63US, 1.63EU, 1.63K, 1.65US, 1.65EU, 1.65K, 1.66US,
|
|
1.66EU and 1.66K. Note that the H140 uses the same firmware as the H120;
|
|
H120 and H140 owners should use the firmware called \fname{ihp\_120.hex}.
|
|
Likewise, the iHP110 and iHP115 use the same firmware, called
|
|
\fname{ihp\_100.hex}. Be sure to use the correct firmware file for
|
|
your player.}
|
|
\opt{IRIVER_H300_PAD}{1.28K, 1.28EU, 1.28J, 1.29K, 1.29J and 1.30EU.
|
|
\note{The US \playername{} firmware is not supported and cannot be
|
|
patched to be used with the boot loader. If you wish to install Rockbox
|
|
on a US \playername, you must first install a non-US version of the
|
|
original firmware and then install one of the supported versions patched
|
|
with the Rockbox bootloader.
|
|
\warn{Installing non-US firmware on a US \playername{} will
|
|
permanently remove DRM support from the player.}}
|
|
}%
|
|
If the file that you downloaded is a \fname{.zip} file, use an unzip
|
|
utility like mentioned in the prerequisites section to extract
|
|
the \fname{.hex} from the \fname{.zip} file
|
|
to your desktop. Likewise, if the file that you downloaded is an
|
|
\fname{.exe} file, double-click on the \fname{.exe} file to extract
|
|
the \fname{.hex} file to your desktop.
|
|
When running Linux you should be able extracting \fname{.exe}
|
|
files using \fname{unzip}.
|
|
%
|
|
\item Download the firmware patcher \fname{fwpatcher.exe} from
|
|
\url{http://download.rockbox.org/bootloader/iriver/} and save it to your desktop.
|
|
\warn{The firmware patcher contains Unicode support, which is not supported by
|
|
all versions of Windows. If you have difficulty with the firmware patcher, try
|
|
downloading the alternate firmware patcher \fname{fwpatchernu.exe}, which is
|
|
built without Unicode support.}
|
|
%
|
|
\item Go to your desktop and double-click on whichever version of the firmware
|
|
patcher you downloaded in the prior step.
|
|
%
|
|
\item In the firmware patcher dialog box, click on the \setting{Browse}
|
|
button and navigate
|
|
to the \fname{.hex} file that you previously downloaded to your desktop.
|
|
%
|
|
\item Click \setting{Patch}. The firmware patcher will patch the
|
|
original firmware to include the Rockbox boot loader. The \fname{.hex}
|
|
file on your desktop is now a modified version of the original
|
|
\fname{.hex} file.
|
|
%
|
|
\item Turn on your \playerman{} and connect it to your computer via USB.
|
|
%
|
|
\item Copy or move the modified \fname{.hex} file directly to the root of
|
|
your \daps{} drive. Do not put it inside a folder on your \dap.
|
|
%
|
|
\item Disconnect the jukebox from USB. (Be sure to use Windows' ``safely remove
|
|
hardware'' option.)
|
|
\warn{Before proceeding further, make sure that your player has a full charge
|
|
or that it is connected to the power adaptor. Interrupting the next step
|
|
due to a power failure most likely will brick your \dap{}.}
|
|
%
|
|
\item Update your \daps{} firmware with the patched boot loader. To do this, turn
|
|
the jukebox on. Press and hold the
|
|
\opt{IRIVER_H100_PAD,IRIVER_H300_PAD}{\ButtonSelect{} button }%
|
|
to enter the main menu, and navigate to \setting{General $\rightarrow$ Firmware
|
|
Upgrade}. Select \setting{Yes} when asked to confirm if you want to upgrade the
|
|
firmware. The \playerman{} will display a message indicating that the
|
|
firmware update
|
|
is in progress. Do \emph{not} interrupt this process. When the
|
|
firmware update is complete the player will turn itself off. (The update
|
|
firmware process usually takes a minute or so.)
|
|
|
|
You have now installed the Rockbox boot loader.
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
\note{If you install the Rockbox boot loader but do not install the
|
|
Rockbox firmware the Rockbox boot loader will load the Iriver firmware when the
|
|
jukebox is turned on.
|
|
To load the \playerman{} firmware press and hold \ButtonRec{} before
|
|
powering up the \dap{} until the \playerman{} logo appears.
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\note{The boot loader has a built-in ``boot loader USB mode''. This function
|
|
switches to USB mode when the \dap{} is connected to a computer upon
|
|
power-up. This way you can access the \daps{} hard disk without the need
|
|
to boot any firmware (which is also useful when your hard disk is
|
|
damaged). The screen will simply display the text ``boot loader USB mode''.
|
|
After you disconnect the \dap{} from USB the boot loader will
|
|
continue booting Rockbox. As in boot loader USB mode the firmware
|
|
itself hasn't been loaded this is also a simple way of updating Rockbox.
|
|
After the disconnect the boot loader will load the updated version of
|
|
Rockbox.
